==Overview== In his pioneering work, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1893RSPTA.184...43D F. W. Dyson (1893, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. A., 184, 43 - 95)] and [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1893RSPTA.184.1041D (1893, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. A., 184, 1041 - 1106)] used analytic techniques to determine the approximate equilibrium structure of axisymmetric, uniformly rotating, incompressible tori. [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1974ApJ...190..675W C.-Y. Wong (1974, ApJ, 190, 675 - 694)] extended Dyson's work, using numerical techniques to obtain more accurate — but still approximate — equilibrium structures for incompressible tori having solid body rotation. Since then, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981PThPh..65.1870E Y. Eriguchi & D. Sugimoto (1981, Progress of Theoretical Physics, 65, 1870 - 1875)] and [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1988ApJS...66..315H I. Hachisu, J. E. Tohline & Y. Eriguchi (1987, ApJ, 323, 592 - 613)] have mapped out the full sequence of Dyson-Wong tori, beginning from a bifurcation point on the Maclaurin spheroid sequence. <table border="0" cellpadding="8" align="center"><tr><td align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr><td align="center" colspan="3"> '''Figures 1 - 6 extracted without modification from pp. 63-66 of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1893RSPTA.184...43D F.
